- In 1990, when it became clear that the United States planned to push Iraq out of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein's battle strategy was straight out of the World War I playbook.
- Using a modern playbook, the US destroyed the Iraqi army and defeated it en masse with just 5 weeks of air bombardment and 100 hours of battle on the ground.
- The strategy was dubbed "Shock and Awe;" it was magnificent.
The appointment has caused absolute outrage, captured perfectly in a POLITICO article:
- If the lobbyists are angry, that is a great start...
- Trump's appointments have been awesome in the original sense of the term...
